Because yes, Simone Inzaghi's Inter played unnaturally this Tuesday, December 10 and was logically surprised a few minutes before the end of the match! Simone Inzaghi had made a very important turnover, also in anticipation of the upcoming poster against a very surprising Lazio of Rome in Serie A
For this European turnover, he had therefore left Federico Dimarco, Nicolò Barella and Lautaro Martinez to restgiving a chance from the kick-off to Carlos Augusto, Piotr Zielinski et surtout Medhi Taremi. On the Bayer side, Schick not being in good condition, it was Tella who was occupied as an attacker
And it was the Nigerian striker, after just three minutes, who hit Yann Sommer's crossbar head-on on a Frimpong center which will have offered a very nice migraine to Carlos Augusto by martyring him on his wing. Bayer maintaining possession forced Inter to retreat to keep the Germans' initiatives at bay throughout the match.
It was only at the end of the half that our Nerazzurri finally took control of the field for a short time, taking some offensive initiatives, without however worrying the opposing goalkeeper Kovar. In the second half, the pace of play of the Italian Champions collapses: Inzaghi then tries to reverse the situation by sending his heavyweights left to rest, but the sauce does not take: With a quarter of an hour to go, an uncertainty by Alessandro Bastoni could be very expensive, but Stefan De VrijCaptain of the evening and only Nerazzurro to show himself imperial, managed to stop Wirtz
What was supposed to happen, happened and in the 90th minute, and following yet another wave from Bayer, Grimaldo put Nerazzurra in the heart of the area, after a somewhat confusing situation, Mukiele, who took advantage of a general uncertainty in the Italian defense, punished Yann Sommer in what will be his very first goal conceded in the most beautiful competitioneven if at the base of the action leading to this corner, a German player was in an offside position
Bayer, which deserved his victoryjoins Inter in the standings with 13 points. An Inter who, to ensure its place in the Top 8 will have to light up Sparta Prague whatever happens and take note of the ranking, almost final afterwards, in order to manage Ace Monaco in the best possible way. Two meetings which will take place in 2025
